This section will answer many common questions about renting!
How
soon do I have to place my order?
The sooner the better! Renting is always based on
availability, so it's always in your best interest to book as far
ahead as possible. As soon as you book, the items are guaranteed yours.
You can always adjust the numbers up and down as you get closer to
the date with as much notice as possible. We strive to be flexible
and can most often make changes (within reason) up until 48 hours
before delivery or customer pick up.
Some of the more popular items such as champagne fountains, wedding arches and candelabra, should be reserved early. You should be planning one or two months in advance, or earlier, if possible. For small orders, usually a week or two is sufficient.
Do you need a
booking deposit when I place my order?
You can place your order either over the phone
or in person at our store. We do have everything on display in our rental
showroom, so it does make decision making all the easier. However, we
can certainly enter your reservation over the phone. Either way, we
do require a booking deposit equal to 50% of your total order within
10 days of booking. This can be accomplished by charging it to a credit
card (we take Visa and MasterCard) over the phone, mailing in a cheque,
or dropping by our store within the next 7-10 days with other methods
of payment. This deposit will be refunded only if your order is cancelled
at least sixty days prior to the date of the function. If you should
cancel on less than 60 days notice, the reservation deposit is forfeited.
How does rental
pricing work?
Rates are quoted for a daily, single use rental. We
normally allow a 72-hour period to accommodate delivery and pickup.
Items rented for a typical weekend event would be delivered the day
prior and picked up on Monday. If you require a longer rental period,
this must be arranged at the time of reservation. Please contact us
for rate information. All charges are for time out, whether the items
are used or not. Prices are subject to change without notice.
Will I get some
money back if I don't use everything?
Unfortunately, no. All equipment, dishes and glassware
that leaves our warehouse must be washed on return whether it was used
or not. This is a health regulation that we strictly adhere to and hope
you will appreciate. We must therefore, charge for all items regardless
of whether they were used. Rental charges are based on time out, not
time used.
Do I have to
wash the dishes, glassware and flatware?
We take care of the washing for you, but rinsing or
scraping dishes of all food is suggested. All dishes/cutlery should
then be returned to the shipping containers provided with proper packing
materials. All glassware should be emptied and replaced brim up in the
boxes provided.
Linens should be shaken free of food and confetti. Don't pack them in a plastic bag if they are wet because they will mildew over the course of a weekend. If any linen or skirting is damaged, burned or gets mildewed, the replacement cost will be charged.
Tables and chairs should be folded and stacked neatly at their point of delivery if they were delivered. Additional charges will be added if items are not neatly arranged at this point.
What
if I break something?
We charge for breakage, missing or weather damaged
items at retail replacement value. We do offer a damage waiver of 6%
on the breakable items on your order, so that you don't have to worry
about small amounts of breakage (up to a limit of $ 100.00) This is
like a small optional insurance policy. The damage waiver does not cover
loss. There are limitations to the damage waiver depending on what you're
ordering so please call our office for details concerning your specific
rental order. Shortage must be reported prior to the event or the invoice
quantities will be considered received.
Responsibility for rental items remains with the customer. All items should be secured and protected from harmful weather conditions, theft or damage. Please treat these, as with all rental goods, as if they were your own.
Do you deliver
my order or do I pick it up?
We can deliver the items, but it is an additional
charge. Delivery charges are based on the total number of pieces in
the order - crates, boxes, tables, chairs, and so on. Once we have the
order finalized we could certainly let you know how much delivery would
be.
I've decided
I want my order delivered. When will it come?
We can guarantee at time of booking either an AM or
PM delivery.
Do you rent tents?
We do have small 10' x 10' canopies available, but
if you were looking for something larger, you might want to try a tent
rental company. We do specialize in everything that goes under the tent,
though: tables, chairs, china, glassware, beverage fountains, candelabra,
etc. We also carry a full line of paper and plastic partyware, including
plates, napkins, decorations & more!
I can't find
what I'm looking for. Now what?
We are constantly adding new items to our rental inventory.
If the item or service you want is not listed, please call and ask,
we probably have it or know where you can look next.
I've got a price
from a competitor and its lower, will you match it?
Since the quality of manufacturers goods will vary
widely, basing your rental decisions solely on price can often lead
to disappointment. Before you book your order with any rental company,
we encourage you to visit their showroom personally. Your upcoming event
is certainly very important to you, investigating the rental company
you will be trusting ought to give you peace of mind. Remember, when
trying to cut costs, make certain you''re not also cutting out the most
valuable part of any job: service.
What are your
store hours?
We are open Monday thru Friday from 8:30am to 6:00pm
(Thursday evenings until 8:00pm) and Saturday 10:00am to 6:00pm. All
rental pick-ups and returns must be made between 8:30am to 5:00pm Monday
